Question: Has Jess mentioned who will be put up if D/D get the POV?

I think if Dick goes, Dani will go into meltdown mode and will end up getting sympathy from the others. They were all mates b4 Dick got the HOH gig so perhaps it could go back to the way they were. I'm sure the rest would like Zach out b4 Dani, yah?

Dfng - what a fabulous twist! And, BB is all about twists, so give them what they have always promoted. Not just some oddball twist them came up with this year. I don't consider that giving me a say in the game. If I truly got a say in the game, I would be able to vote and support whoever I chose.

I think the twist with America's Player was a good idea but I don't think they explored the possibilities enough. I do think he should be more involved with things - like perhaps have him complete tasks for rewards - rewards like being able to read BB web site chats, blogs, boards. Let him watch DR tapes. Now THAT would make it interesting IMO. Him having to do things to get that type of information and knowing what people are saying in their DR chats - all the while having to basically bite his tongue and never being able to confront people or making sure he doesn't slip up. Imagine the possibilities!? There should be more challenging things for him to accomplish other than to get certain people nominated. They should have him do more things like they did with the mustard - things that wouldn't hurt others. Maybe hide Dick's cigs, hide all the cereal, change the time, move things around, etc.

I'm sure the viewers could come up with other things - if given the chance.

Cheeky - great post. That would have made the whole AP thing more interesting, and would have gven Eric a better chance at being able to play this game strategically, even if he wasn't able to confront others about their DRs and discussions while they were out of his hearing.

My opinion on the AP deal is not negative and I think it has great potential. Maybe if they do it again next year there will be more of an edge to the show because each HG (or at least the ones who will actually be familiar with the show) will be on guard thinking that any of their fellow HGs might be the AP.

Now that would be fabulous watching - what tension and maneuvering behind the backs of each other. It would be a great way for thenetwork to continue to have AP while expanding the whole twist.

Okay - off to Wally World, then to mom's to have breakfast and a little shopping (which I abhor but it makes her happy). I will be back later to catch up. Even when I don't agree with others, I always appreciate their insight, views and opinions on this board. I absolutely love TVCH and probably would not have continued to watch BB over the years if I had not found this place.

Thank you TVCH, mods and fellow posters. You have made the past several years and this year worth all the time and obsessing I do over this show

The AP should never have had his line drawn in the sand the way Eric does. In other words, he should've kept himself as a complete floater sort of like Zach and Jen have lately. He defined his own "side" of the house without caring what the viewers wanted him to do. That's why it's impossible for the viewers to support what he wants us to do.
If he would've attempted to stay neutral, he wouldn't be having so much difficulty getting his tasks accomplished. He blew it when he campaigned to get Nick out before he knew what the AP votes were going to be.

I'm completely done with voting. I have no interest in voting in the finals if my choices are any of the LN5.

Mummy, just because BB picked who would be AP doesn't mean I have to support their player. We didn't pick AP, BB did. If BB wanted us in the game they would let us vote at eviction as America's choice, not as the AP. If you don't like Eric, which I don't then why should I support him?

Thanks Poppy.

yes, the possibilities with AP are endless! I do hope BB uses this twist again.

In the British BB the HG's are not allowed to talk about the nominations. I don't agree with that for the entire duration of the show but I do think maybe having a competition to win being able to discuss nom's would be a good idea. And if you are caught discussing the nom's during a week the house might be on a discussion ban - you are automatically put up for eviction. How about that?

Enjoy your day of shopping and thanks for the props!

Bubba, I agree with you - in theory. BB should have had a vote who we wanted the AP to be. But then I wonder how they would have broken the news to the chosen HG. I mean that would have been a very long discussion - explaining it all, no? What if the HG didn't want to be AP with all the restrictions on who to vote out, get nominated, etc? I wonder also if Erik had to sign some documents saying he was in there as AP in case he decided half way through he wasn't going to do it and then BB was basically stuck with a HG who was in the house for the wrong reason and couldn't do anything about getting him out of the house. Or a confidentiality agreement saying he wouldn't tell anyone about the AP twist. If we were left to decide, they might have not been able to implement the twist while the HG's were already in the house because of the amount of time they'd have to spend with the HG in the DR explaining all of this, etc. Or get one who doesn't want the job and the threat that he/she might tell the others about the twist and then wonder which other HG went for it.

It is funny that the 5 might implement a strategy that would be a huge mistake and potentially let Dick and Daniele both stay. Yet Daniele, Dick and Zach are formulating plans to try as hard a they can to not allow them to do that.

The 5 may want to use the veto to put up Dutin to be mean, yet the 3.5 do not want to use the veto at all, which unknowingly may have been their only chance to have them all stay.

Who did America vote for Eric to have put on the block? If it was Dustin then I don't see Eric wanting Dustin up as a pawn because he would not want his vote used to save Dick.

If Dick was America choice then the TV viewers will vote Dick out. We are such a minority I'm not sure I will vote any more.

Cheekychops, you are right. That is why I think we should have a American vote choice at evictions instead of a secert AP vote. If the HG knew we got a vote then they would have to play their game with us in mind, giving us more of a part in the game.

Shoot, I've voted and I'm always at odds with the rest of America for some reason. LOL, I just vote the way I figure would keep the AP safe until he's gone. This past week sure showed me that some people (not all) vote just to be vindictive and pay Eric back for not doing what he was supposedly suppose to do.

Kinda reminded me of all the votes for Sanjaya on American Idol and how that poor child stayed longer than necessary in that competition. I figured when you got an AP in BB it was going to turn out the same way but I wasn't going to contribute to it.

I don't like some of the things that BB has set up for Eric to do. The vandalism was so juvenile and wrong..I didn't vote for it. Make up a sob story? Didn't vote for it. Just thought those were pathetic little tasks.

BB told us "Eric is playing for YOU America!" Not "Ok America lets help Eric win the game." I for one will only vote in a manner that will not get Eric one more dollar as America's Player. It may not be how everyone feels and thats fine but it is my choice.

Carmil (6:13 am) said exactly what I feel.

Also agree w/Mrsmel. I will not help him make one more dollar. The thought of him representing me makes me ill. I don't care for him at all.

We need to all write to cbs that the AP is a fraud. We want our money back!

Any links?

I just don't agree, but that's okay. I just feel that he did what I wanted-which is vote Nick out-so he didn't ruin AP for me. But I also understand others' viewpoints while I don't agree with them.

I also went against the majority when I voted for Eric to get Dick nominated. I like having a vote even if it's in the minority! LOL, reminds me of the 2000 elections! LOL! Oh well, so goes life.

AP is ALWAYS in the house, and the way he is acting is quite current. The incest remarks AGAIN just recently happened. I don't want that kind of person representing me.

I thought they'd put up Dustin. I swear Dustin volunteered to go up as a pawn, plus he's America's choice for Eric to get put up. But does that count for veto as well? When's the veto comp anyway?

Where's this rumor from? Why would BB do that? Seems kind of odd.

But, I suppose of BB wants to keep Dick this is the way to do it and then to make sure Dick or Dani win the veto.

If that rumor is true I don't want to hear any more about how BB is rigged for Eric.
